I am really surprised to see that Welsh Rarebit has crossed the pond! (Albeit several decades ago.)

It is, at it's most basic, just cheese on toast. But the addition of English mustard (and it really does need to be that strong version in this - American mustard or French mustard will not do), and brown ale - again, not pale ale or lager - does elevate it to a rather different animal than just "cheese on toast".

I have made two different versions this year - one was thicker, and designed to go on toast, the other was just this week, and a more liquid sauce to go with cauliflower. I will find the older recipe and post both. (They were both delicious.)
 
"TNT recipes"?? Not sure what this is Kathleen?
We have a thread for that. :)

 
Yeah, if you have a couple of hours to look it up. I find I use them less and less. Most of them are just plain silly.
And many of them have more than one saying so what's the point?
 
So I wasn't completely wrong about Welsh rarebit being cheese on toast, but adding English mustard and ale. I used to eat toasted cheese sandwiches, so not the real Welsh rarebit, quite often when I lived in London, at home or from the snack bar near my office, at lunchtime, Winters were cold there and very long.
